Subject: [MTC Global] Modern Interview questions to judge a Faculty leaked
--Dear All,I would like to share my experience in an interview for Assistant Professor In Marketing which was held very recently.Q1: Why do you keep Dr. before your name as you are not medical practitioner?a) I tried to defend expertise in an area… but no time to listen my words… a great laugh.Q2. Who has created 'Trisanku swargam"?a) No answer from my side as am poor in puranas. ……..Satire on my Career ObjectiveQ3. Is Konda Surekha, a Tigress? (She is the local Ex MLA in my region)a) My answer " Of course, her way of leading the party and activists and the way she has defended in the recently concluded election ensures the caliber as a tigress. But reply, She is a woman, how can she be Tigress……… Great Laugh .Q4. You said you stay in Tiger Hills Colony? How many tigers are there?a) I said, Once people used to say the place is sensitive area as some people found tigers, after some years, the name of the colony created in that name……… But the reply is another comedy…..Interview is over…. You can leave now .This is the way; our interview process is going on for recruiting a faculty in Management.Let us hope and pray for change in the mindset of interviewers to judge the performance of Management Faculty and let us rebuild the value of management education.Thanks & regards,

*** As this happened at Dhruva (Interview committee with me in the chair, Dr UB Raju,an eminent Researcher & Professor of general management & entrepreneurship with industry, teaching and consultancy experience of more than 3 decades and Prof Gokul who is senior professor of Finance) vis-a-vis Dr Suresh Chandra who posted "bits & pieces "of interview proceedings that lasted more than 45 minutes. PLEASE SEE BLOW BY BLOW SCENARIO OF INTERVIEW HELD ON July 24, 2013.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Context: The candidate was interviewed telephonically by Dr U B Raju based on which Dr Suresh Chandra was called for a personal interview. If selected, the candidate would have been called for a couple demo sessions thru a stay on the campus for real time interaction with students and faculty of Dhruva-our regular practice of SELECTION.INTERVIEW*************Seeing the CV, Chairman asked the candidate to introduce himself (TAKING ABOUT 5 MINUTES) and why he wanted to join Dhruva. Candidate STUTTERINGLY explained that he did Ph.D. from Kakatiya University and gave his introduction IN HARDLY ABOUT 1 MINUTE..Chairman: So you are from Hanumkonda and so am I. I studied there and I have very fond memories.Chairman eagerly asked about the candidate's locality "Tiger hills" in Hanumkonda. He jokingly asked why is it named as Tiger Hills Colony. Candidate replied hesitantly that "long back, tigers were seen over there".
In passing, chairman enquired about local political scenario...Q1. Who is the local representative?A1. Konda SurekhaQ2. Yes,she is a crusader; is she a tigress?A2. YesQ3. How can she be? She is a woman.(Great Laugh ...No,not at all! This was never to demean Smt Konda Surekha, nor women folk in general. As a matter of CSR initiative, Dhruva made a video capsule "violence against woman" post "Nirbhaya" episode in Delhi )
Q4. What is Ph.D. ?
A4. Doctor of PhilosophyQ5. What does it mean?A5. knowing things perfectly about a particular subject.Q6. Why prefix the name with the letters Dr?A6. It shows attainment of perfection.Chairman said: Yes I too prefix "Dr" to my name
("a great laugh", Dr Suresh complains---yes, I laughed at my self for keeping a "Dr" prefix to my name) - but it is used only by medical practitioners in USA & other western countries unlike in India.Q7. What is perfection?A7. Knowing everything in a subject.Chairman said: How can any body know every thing. The moment one claims "omniscience", one stops learning further. You can never improve if you claim perfection..Hence Perfection is tantamount to death.
Chairman and other members explained verbally and graphically what perfection is. (Chairman actually drew a sinusoidal curve with time on X-axis and level of perfection on Y-axis, the curve is invariably asymptotic to 'line of perfection'. Again chairman jokingly quipped saying that when the monitor in a hospital ICU shows straight line, patient is supposedly dead)Chairman said: (explaining the finer nuance of what is Ph.D ) Philosophy means field of knowledge. PhD means contribution to the existing field of knowledge.It means 'Knowing more and more about less and less' and whoever claims Ph.D should have contributed at least a miniscule knowledge to the existing philosophy of knowledge in the his/her chosen domainQ8. Your thesis topic is Lapsation of Policies in Insurance sector: A Study of select life insurance companies in India.Is there any such word called lapsation?A8. (Hesitating for a while) It is in google.Q9. Is it there in Oxford dictionary?A9. I do not know.Chairman: I am afraid it is not."In any case, I appreciate your coining a new word/term. Just like Cooperative Competitiveness", it will also get into the dictionary/management lexicon", Chairman said assuringly
Q10. Reading your career objective, it sounds flamboyant and utopian.Chairman: Your objectives are nowhere seem to be accomplishable unless you are capable of creating some Trisanku Swarga.Chairman: By the by, who created Trisanku Swarga?A10. The candidate said he did not know.
(Satire on my Career Objective , the candidate laments
***How can I crack a satire; I only advised Dr Suresh to modulate his objective statement lest he'll end up desolate by not being able to accomplish it.
please see his Objective statement :
"Career Objective:To obtain a challenging position in my teaching and research career which gives me the opportunity to enhance and strive for the development of advanced research outputs in my teaching & research area and to contribute the research fruits for the development of future managers and to lead the management field"Q11. How are objectives set? What are their attributes?
A11.One should analyse oneself and set the objectives.
Interview Board stated : Its SMART that you should follow in setting "objective"and asked::
Have you heard about SMART ? what does it stand for ?The candidate could not elaborate the acronym. Answer was given with explanation by the interview board.Q12. Is there any possibility to do further research on your Ph.D topic?
A12. No answerInterview Board: A thesis usually includes a prologue and an epilogue.
Q13: What is the distinction between prologue and epilogue?
A13: No answer.Interview Board: explained.Q14. What are the conclusions of your study?A14. The candidate narrated the reasons for lapsation of policies.Interview Board: These reasons are known otherwise also.Q15. What is the role of agents in prevention of lapsation?A15. Agents are supposed to monitor the due dates.
THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER QUESTIONS INCLUDING "ACTUARIES" etc WHICH THE CANDIDATE COULD NOT ANSWER(Interview is over…. You can leave now)... no,again! Interview ended on a cordial note with thanks from both sides. Dhruva was hospitable and offered him to stay back for lunch with a promise that he would be intimated the result of the interview shortly.------------------------------------------------Bholanth ji, this is for your information. MTCGlobal should be able to put its "foot down" to prevent this baseless "mudslinging". .Looking forward to a healthy relationship among the fraternity of MTCGlobal members
